It's just for the bits and pieces. I wouldn't be intimidated as it is basically plug and play at this point.
The marketing, installation and paperwork triple or even quadruple the price as people way $whatever to not deal with it. Being a sparky is way more lucrative than even a plumber.
We picked the wrong career I tell you.
Here's the same fellow from above showing off the latest panels:

From his perspective it is down to $0.27 per watt.
In order to fill up those 14Kwh batteries you'll need fewer than 10 panels (400watts per panel, x4 hours sunshine). So less than $1,000.
The inverter is less than $1,000.
And the battery is heading to below $3,000.
YouTubers like MKBHD have videos up where they paid six figures for their setups and wonder whether it is worth it due to the long payback heh. I know not fair comparison whatever, we're just talking.
I have no idea what to do about NIMBY type problems but you can setup an off grid cabin somewhere with all the creature comforts very very easily now.
- AYBABTME 2y agoHow do you DIY install this on your house, legally, though?
- mlinhares 2y agoI have the whole solar setup already (financed at 1% so it was 100% worth it) but I don't have batteries, biggest problem for me i guess would be to do all the paperwork to have this sorted out. If being a sparky didn't require apprenticeship i'd definitely consider that, the amount of money i've paid for these services have convinced me I'm not in the right field and i make high six figures as an engineer :(
